The only Environmental Contest on Steem - Cook it Fresh Challenge
This weeks sustainability contest is ‘Cook it Fresh’.
The contest is pretty simple, but it does require effort on your part, effort because our world will not become a better place without some behaviour changes!
This week instead of opting for delivery or for a ready meal you should try to cook it fresh from raw unprocessed ingredients. This is obviously better if you opt for a vegetarian mean and use seasonal vegetables that have low food miles. These are all the things that you can document in your contest entry.
Submission of Evidence
- Use the tag #livesustainably to submit your evidence.
- Put a link to your post as a comment below.
- Include photographs and text to share what you are doing. Remember it will be judged on criteria such as food miles, seasonal vegetables, etc.
- Upvote @livesustainably at least 2 times during the week.
Prizes
Everyone is a winner as anyone who enters will get a vote from @livesustainably. The top 3 entries will also win some Steem (at least 0.25 Steem, but it could be more it we get lots of upvotes this week!)
The winners will be announced next Sunday along with an announcement on the next competition.
I've got to remember to do an entry this week!! Upvoted and resteemed :)
I've put in a pan with potatoes, beans, corn, cabbage and carrots from Russia.

Good food.
Happy Sunday! This comment is to inform you that your article has been linked and featured in the most recent issue of the Weekly Homesteading Newsletter! Thank you! P.S. I'll try to see if I can whip something up this week in order to enter!
I read your post just before going grocery shopping, so I had low food milage in my head while shopping. As I look outside my window, all I see is snow and ice... These are the locally grown vegetables I found : potatoes, carrots, cabbage and onions. That was it! That's the extent of locally grown vegetables in the far north of Europe - at least at this time of year. :D
(oh, and there's locally grown tomatoes and lettuce even in wintertime, but their environmental impact is so detrimental we're not even going to mention them!)
Here is the link to my recipe! Thanks for the fun competition!
Admittedly this is only a sidedish, but inspired by this post :)
